InstallAware

Hi!

I have trouble installing .NET 4.51 with my application. The installation of the runtime fails. I've noticed that if I build the .NET 4.51 runtime on a Windows 8 build machine, it won't have the same size as building it on a Windows 7 build machine.
We usually build the runtime the first time and place it on a ftp server so we don't have to build it every day.
Let's say I build the runtime on my Windows 8 machine, installation will fail with an InstallAware app built on a Windows 7 machine ... and vice-versa.
Since we always maintain two different versions of our application which are both built on different build machines (Win 8 and Win 7) it's an issue for us.

Please see attachment for error.

I am using InstallAware version 18.03 (on both machines).

To test, you simply need an empty InstallAware Win64 project for example.

Any clue?


Thanks,
François

Dear François,

The compiled WEB MEDIA BLOCKS are machine dependent and it is in this way by design.
The failure you reported with using a web media block generated using a different OS, it also happens if you use a different machine that has same OS.

Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Hi!

Thanks for your answer.
That is what I thought.
Though, I usually didn't have any problem with the WEB MEDIA BLOCKS in the past. Back in 2013 we we're still using 2 different build machines but with exact same OS (Win 7).
Using different OS seems to be a problem for sure.

Regards

François
